A old ivory boat Japanese or Chinese? I found this at the dump wrapped up in some cloth in a old blanket box. It's got some flags and beams but they tips have broke. I've seen some other ones of these boats in Different sizes but with no flags. It's a great piece, they are over 20 carved men on the boat and by the look of it it should have lots more flags and other fitting as its got alot more holes for others. At the back it had the moving lamps one is missing but the other one is fine.

davezquanw, 2 years agoWhat kind of ivory are you referring to? Does not show signs of old elephant ivory though.
